Drug Test Delayed Detection

hello, i am on a methodone clinic and get drug tested every week. ive been sober for 10 months and recently had a positive drug test for opiates. now here is the weird thing , i had surgery on oct. 4th and in surgery the gave me opiates and benzos. the drug test that i tested positive for opiates was administered on the 24th. i had 2 other drug test since the time of my surgery that were negitive for all drugs. and then the third drug test came back positive for opiates. is it possible for that to happen? for a drug that was administered to lay doormant and not show up on 2 drug test and to show up out of nowhere on the 3rd... i am clueless because i know i havent taken anything.

Do you know what type of test they use?

If it's one of the less expensive, non-certified ones, then it could have been caused by the Methadone itself, since it is an opiate and those types of tests can report such false positives anywhere from 4 to 50% of the time.

I go to a methadone Clinic myself in Tn and get tested too....Its gonna be pos for opiates because meth itself is an opiate....On our test if you show positive it shows what type of opiate is was..such as oxy-hydro-morphine-etc....It also wouldnt be the 1st time ive heard of a meth Clinic patient failin a piss test when that individual knows he/she was clean....Happens at my Clinic too unfortunately
